Lacrosse Jobs at Summer Camps in the USA

Lacrosse jobs at summer camps are a fantastic fit for college players, club coaches, and high school lacrosse pros who want to share the fastest game on two feet with the next generation. From traditional sleepaway camps offering daily lacrosse rotations to specialty lacrosse residential camps featuring top NCAA coaches, lacrosse staff find rich teaching environments throughout the summer where they can develop young athletes at every level.

As a lacrosse coach at an overnight camp, you’ll teach stick skills, passing, shooting, defense, and game IQ while running drills, scrimmages, and inter-camp games. You’ll plan practice progressions, organize intra-camp tournaments, and support color war and special event programming. Many co-ed residential camps run lacrosse alongside soccer, field hockey, and football, giving multi-sport coaches a packed and varied summer.
